When the “dissenting opinion” becomes an axiom

This is simply gikomopomrazhitelno! Passing 6 years after the release of the film “ Special Opinion ”, several unsuccessful attempts to imitate the interface management system (used by John Anderton), Stark Oblong Industries finally created G-Speak, an object-oriented system for managing visual interface elements. In the language of definitions, all this is called the “spatial operating interface” (SOE), which loosely translates into domestic, as the “spatial operating interface”.

As in the sensational film, the “operator” has to tighten the gloves with the sensors at the fingertips, allowing you to do anything with your hands: drag the image between the screens, zoom in / out / rotate; in other words: “twirl as you like.” It is useless to talk about it - you need to see at least once, and I strongly advise you to follow the link and view the large version in HD quality.

It is a pity that very many interesting details emerge just now. So, for example, one of the creators of G-Speak was a science advisor at the shooting of the film and it was he who created most of the scenes from the movie with the participation of visual screens based on his work on this system at MIT , which began in the early 90s x

Despite all the fabulousness, the system was created to solve real problems. Their list, in terms of creators:

• analysis of large data sets
• operation of three-dimensional interfaces
• construction of efficient multi-user collaborative applications
• integration of large screens
• development of large-scale applications that run interactively across enterprise networks

The platform is compatible with Linux and Mac, and currently stands on use in 50 companies in various industries:

• Financial services
• Telepresence
• Network operations centers
• Logistics and supply chain management
• Military and intelligence
• Automotive
• Natural resource exploration
• Data mining and analytics
• Medical imaging
• High-touch retail
• Trade shows and theatrical presentations
• Consumer electronics interfaces

It will take a long time before we can see for the first time a system like the G-Speak, in real market conditions. Oblong: “from science to the film industry, and then to mass use; only in this way, by synthesizing programming and design, can a beautiful and long-lasting union between man and computer be achieved. ”
